This was taken at a local county festival. I love the lights of the rides and the vendors - it's kind of like Vegas gone country. I chose the "events" category because festivals like these only happen during certain period of the year! Photo taken by Michelle S. White (États-Unis) - Holidays/Events

The Arenal Volcano is an elusive subject, because most of the time it's covered with clouds making it very dificult to photograph. I took this picture in April 2006, while riding an aerial tram towards a viewpoint. Volcanoes are one of natures most powerful and beautiful manifestations.

It was early am...just at sunrise when I took this picture. I was hiking along the C&O Canal (Chesapeake & Ohio--which runs from Cumberland, MD to just outside Washington, DC). I spotted this guy just off the path. My theory is that the best animal captures are at eyeball level, so I plopped down on my belly in the wet grass to get the shot. He was a bit nervous at first, but he eventually relaxed into the pose you see. Photo taken by Bill Merlavage (États-Unis) - Animals/Pets

This picture was taken during my first visit to Chicago during the summer of 2006. I thought it related to the theme because people spent their whole day running through this water fountain and I thought capturing an innocent moment would not only bring the happiness to a picture, but also remind me of the people in Chicago.

My kids love these things. They pick them every day on the walk to and from school, and scatter the seeds as they go ... our neighbors must love us LOL.
